Neuroradiologists and X-ray tube
Posted by selfprofit under: Money .
The conventional X-ray examination should be performed at the lowest possible radiation dose. There should be a digital X-ray equipment used. By the way post-processing of the images by computer can be almost completely avoided retakes. The most common X-ray images of the lungs and the skeleton can be performed. Thus neuroradiology is superior in many ways to traditional examination methods. Child investigations with CT radiation dose must be made with the lowest possible magnetic power. There are appropriate examination parameters that can be set on each CT unit and must be selected. From the CT data to image reconstruction can make in any direction.
Screening tests have become less frequent with the introduction of sonography. An exception in the diagnosis of urinary tract is the MCU for the detection or exclusion of a backflow of urine into the ureter and kidney. Computed tomography (CT) is working with modern X-ray imaging methods. Here, a x-ray tube rotates around the patient while it is being driven on a deck by the equipment (spiral CT). The image information is captured by receivers (multi-detector CT). For example, when examining children, this method is used because of the high dose only in special cases, e.g. after an accident (traumatic brain injury).

The journal Neuroradiology publishes papers on neuroradiological diagnosis and treatment, the application of basic sciences to both, and the use of apparatus. Also presented is important information on normal neuroanatomy and those aspects of neurophysiology that affect radiology in its widest sense.
